In the eyes of Warren Central High School boys basketball coach Greg Graham, there wasn't anything complicated about the Warriors' 54-53 win over Lawrence North on Saturday afternoon: Defense and a dominating inside presence added up to the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference victory.

The Warriors (6-4) held the Wildcats to four points in the final 4:24 - withstanding a last-second layup from Daeshon Francis that briefly rolled around the rim before falling off as time expired - and rode the play of forwards Jaaran Lands and Jordan Garnett to pull out the win.
